Ive done rc since 1977. Everything from cars, boats, planes, helicopters, u name it, ive done. Recently got back into flying, 3 months before covid. Ive raced professionally with kinwald, the Losi group, etc. 1st time in my life ive ever seen this! I subbed & will be using YOUR method on my next body!
Awesome! Glad you liked it. I do mostly cars and trucks - bashers and crawlers. I do have a boat, but haven’t driven it yet and the only ones I fly are drones. Have not had a chance to try a helicopter or plane.
SWEET JOB MAN!! Looks awesome and a HUGE thanks for sharing the how to part.. DEFINITELY using this technique on my speed run Ferrari body for my 2wd Slash
That looks crazy!! I love how the colours blend into each other. Using the soap to make a random pattern really makes the blends stand out. Thats me subbed. 👍
My wife makes custom tumblers and resin art. I’ve seen the dish soap used a lot on that side of crafting. I’m really happy with how it turned out on the RC body. Such a unique design.
Awesome! Glad it inspired you. Those little cans of paint are expensive, might as well use them up. Hope to see a video of your paint job on your channel!
Hi Jeff... I watch all of Sandy's videos, order glitter when I can and thought I'd look at one of yours. This truck turned out AMAZING! You've got a new subscriber! Great job!!!
Just came across this video and wow man good job. Looks amazing. I didn't know this was possible. I am now gonna try this. Also great tunes to go along with the progress. Subscribed!!
Thank you for this !!!! I can’t find anyone to paint my bodies for me as I’m hopeless with art and design but I think I’ll be able to do this !!! Thank u❤
@XXLRC eh.. it's ok the dish soap got runny. I didn't want to just cake the first coat on i sprayed light coats and by the third the soap started running.. it looks cool though I'll try again maybe thicker soap?
@XXLRC that's a good question. I'm not sure. Maybe instead of black, you can do the front like a dark blue and the back black and then do either cool colors or warm colors for the background
Man this is awesome you definitely earned my sub buddy , as soon as the warmer weather comes around I’m giving this a go . Fantastic video ❤ Stay awesome Chris 🤙🤙🤙🤙
A truly creative approach, and you make it look so simple. :-) I just spent the whole day painting a two-tone Traxxas UDR body, makes me wonder why all the fuss when it can be so simple and EPIC like yours! 🙂
Thanks! Glad you like it. I'm kinda stuck in a similar situation. I've got a K10 body for my SCX6 and I wanted to do a classic paint scheme on it, maybe two-tone or stripes, but after seeing the results on this one, I'm tempted to do a similar one for it as well.
@@XXLRC It feels typical to the 90's, this kind of scheme. I guess we're growing old. Seems like it was yesterday! I'm sure that no matter what you choose, it is going to be really nice no matter what. Keep it real, man, I'm loving your content!
Thanks! I was thinking about trying some images as well. My wife uses this stuff called water slide paper and I think it could work for putting images on the inside of a clear body before paint.
Not my favorite thing either. I’ve found that if you take your time with all the prep work, it will turn out a lot better and unique designs like this make it a lot more fun to do.
That's an Awesome Idea for a COOL Custom Paint Job 💯 Thanks for Sharing Might Give It a Try Sometime 🤩👉 The Finished Body Is EPIC 🎈❣️🎈 ✌🤠👍 HFLPRCing =Having Fun Laughing Playing and RCing 👍😎👍 AOAH =Association of Addicted Hobbiest 🙏 SSPH =Stay Safe and Play Healthy My Friend and Have a Great Day 🎊🏁🎊
Well, that just earned a subscriber. Top shelf job, bud. How long did you let the base coat sit before rinsing the soap out? A minute or two, or right after?
It should last just as long as any other. I used paint made for polycarbonate. I guess it depends on how hard you bash. As for mine - I haven’t even run it. It’s for my Maxxpede project truck. Thanks for watching!
Dude!! It's 5am Sunday morning and I'm trying not to squeal "that's badass!!" and wake up my wife. I almost busted a blood vessel. 😂 I just got a red granite and although I love it, I'd love a different color even more. Thank you for this video, it is indeed badass!!
Heck yeah! Glad you enjoyed it and you should totally do it! Best part about this type of paint job is how unique they all turn out. Nobody will have one exactly like yours.
I’ve had a lot of people ask the same question. I recently did another video using the same technique and I made sure to let everybody know in that video. It definitely seems weird to spray fresh paint with water. The first time I did it, I thought it would wash the paint off, but it seems that the water activates the paint and makes it cure instantly.
awesome job man, you inspired me to try this on my own, but i have a question, when you sprayed your first layer of black over the dish soap how long did you let it set before you hit it with the water hose? if immediatly, how did it not wash off the paint as well?
How long do you wait before washing out the dish shop after spraying it with black? Btw. the body looks great and I will use your technic for my next body.
looks epic!!
Thanks Kev! This is amazing. I’ve been watching your channel for many years and it is an honor to have you watch one of my videos. Cheers!
@@XXLRC Thanks bro appreciate it!! I'll have to try that paint trick, maybe on my custom sledge build :)
Heck yes! Can’t wait to see it. I was just thinking about running my Sledge.
Kev, the Legend! Nice to see you leave some love to the little guys out there grinding.

Project truck?! Sounds like a new video!
That turned out great. Gave me a idea on what I want on the body after this one I’m making now 😂

Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it.
Love the look !
But never been a fan of blacked out windows.
Also if you are from the UK you will have a good laugh at the name of the paint 😂
Thanks. Had to have my UK co-worker fill me in. I guess I need to be more careful when selecting paint brands. 😅
That looks amazing. I am now strongly considering this technique for my next buggy body. But perhaps just two-tone. Thanks very much!
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed the video and it gave you inspiration. What colors are you going to do?
I’m thinkin Tamiya metallic blue and white in the soap tracks.
That’ll look awesome! I like that metallic blue. I used it on my MAXX with fluorescent orange.
awesome work! :)
Thank you! Cheers!
awesome
Thanks!
Thank you for this !!!! I can’t find anyone to paint my bodies for me as I’m hopeless with art and design but I think I’ll be able to do this !!! Thank u❤
You’re welcome! You got this!
Awesome technique! I haven't painted any bodies yet, but this gives me a huge confidence boost in maybe going a little wild with my first one.
Hey thanks! I say go for it. This is a really easy technique. Just make sure you do the prep work (cleaning, masking, etc) and it will turn out great!
Crazy ❤
Following these steps tonight.. so far so good painting my losi nascar
Awesome! How’d it turn out?
@XXLRC eh.. it's ok the dish soap got runny. I didn't want to just cake the first coat on i sprayed light coats and by the third the soap started running.. it looks cool though I'll try again maybe thicker soap?
I saw the picture you posted on my Facebook page. I think it looks awesome. I actually like the lighter ends of the colors. Good job! 👍
Been doing this since the 70s for skateboards 1st. Then fishing lures
Awesome!
Dope bro
Thanks!
👍😎👍 Very cool dude.
Thanks!
That came out great looking. Have a ram body. I want to try this out for my OG blackfoot. Thanks
Thanks! I’ll bet yours will turn out amazing!
Just came across your channel. Awesome finish. A process I will be trying out.

Awesome! Thank you! It’s gonna turn out great!
Looks great, I've done something like that with Ketchup.
For real? I would’ve never thought to use ketchup.
Awesome. Do a part 2
What would you like to see in part 2?
@XXLRC that's a good question. I'm not sure. Maybe instead of black, you can do the front like a dark blue and the back black and then do either cool colors or warm colors for the background
look´s great :) very nice
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice

I love it too. Thanks for watching!

Random thought, i would leave the bed of the truck black 😉
That is a good idea. Next time!
Super cool idea! One of the worst thing about RC for me, is painting and cutting out bodys haha
Not my favorite thing either. I’ve found that if you take your time with all the prep work, it will turn out a lot better and unique designs like this make it a lot more fun to do.

Awesome video and badass paint job!!! Did you scuff the body before the initial coat of paint?
I did not scuff the inside. Just washed it with soap and water to get any of the mold release off.
Thought it was a crazy idea but it actually looks pretty cool
Thanks! I thought it wouldn’t work either when I first heard of the idea.
Absolutely beautiful 👍 Question: how long did you wait before you rinsed the soap off? Was the paint still “tacky”?
Rinse the soap immediately after spraying the black. I know it sounds weird to spray fresh paint with water, but it will not wash it off.
@@XXLRC 👍 thanks much!
You’re welcome. I recently did another video showing this technique. Check it out on my channel.
Got a revo missing the body perfect excuse to try this once I get it Friday
Awesome!
That is sick! I'm going to do my J Concepts Kraton body like that. That's for the tips! Liked & Subscribed.
Thanks for the sub! That Kraton body is going to turn out amazing!
@@XXLRC It did, it looks sick AF. Thanks again for the video!

How long did you let the base coat sit before rinsing the soap out? A minute or two, or right after?
Thanks so much. Glad you liked it!
I rinsed the soap off right after I got done spraying the paint.
Great vid. Never thought about masking with dish soap! Did you spray the soap out before the paint dried?
I sprayed the soap out right after I got done spraying the paint.
Ohh hahaha nvmd. He did.
Smart
wish I could post my car. it turned out great.
I’ll bet it looks awesome! XXL RC does have a Facebook page if you want to post it there. I’d love to see how it turned out.
@@XXLRC posted photo on fb
Disclaimer: no grass, plants and animals were hurt during the process.. 👍
Oh. That's good. Had me worried there. 🥴
Outstanding. Did you let the black dry before rinsing off the soap?
Thanks! Nope. I rinsed it right after I got done spraying the paint.

I'm doing it now. 😁 How long did you let the first coat of black dry before washing off the soap?
I washed it off immediately after I got done spraying the black.
I thought so. I didn't know if you'd paused the video or not so was making sure. Thank you! 🥰

Immediately.

I wash the soap off immediately after spraying the paint. The water activates something in the paint and it cures instantly and doesn’t run off.
How long do you wait before washing out the dish shop after spraying it with black? Btw. the body looks great and I will use your technic for my next body.
Don’t wait. Spray it off as soon as you get done spraying the black. Thanks for watching. Glad it helped.
when you remove the soap you wait for the first coat of black to dry or wash it off ? immediately afterwards
As soon as I got done spraying the black, I washed off the soap. No waiting for it to dry.
yo that was noce as H@ll . I am following you for more heat
Awesome! Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
How long did you let the first coat of black on before spraying the soap off.
As long as it took me to turn on the hose.
nice. +1sub!
Thanks for the sub! Glad you enjoyed.
Man that’s awesome! Hope you don’t mind but I’m gonna be a copycat and do that with my granite clear body today…that looks great
Heck yeah, man. Go for it! If you do a video of it, tag me so I can see how it turned out.
@@XXLRC sure thing;thanks for the green light
I believe if you put the stickers in water they will come off and put them on wet so you can move them around if you need to
I think they are regular stickers. I’ve heard of some people using water slide decals, but I don’t think these ones are.
